Unfortunately, mice do not only cause property damage. They can carry and transmit several dangerous diseases, including the following:
House mouse diseases are not only transmitted through mice droppings; they can also transmit them through urine you might not notice is there, and some pathogens can be airborne. Those dangerous diseases can also spread throughout the mouse’s life cycle, which is why it is crucial to remedy an infestation as soon as possible.
While mousetraps are popular options for homeowners, they are unfortunately not the best way to get rid of mice. Here are a few reasons why:
As you can see, mouse traps just aren’t a good enough option to get rid of an entire infestation. Instead of traps that work occasionally or not at all, there is a better way to completely get rid of mice.

How Do Mice Get In Walls
Because of their size, mice can squeeze their way through openings the size of a dime. And because of their ability to climb, they can typically access holes well above ground level. Once they’re inside a building or your home, they use similar techniques to get in the walls.
Common entry points for mice include:
How Do Mice Get In Walls
While there are DIY removal options, the safest and most thorough removal option is to contact a rodent control professional at Identify Pest Control as they will inspect all accessible areas of your home, from roof to crawl space, to determine how mice gain entry. Then, we’ll develop a customized game plan for your property to help get the intruders out, then seal and secure vulnerable entry points to help keep the intruders out permanently
How Do Mice Get In Walls
Once you are sure your house is free of mice, the next step is to take preventive measures to help ensure mice don’t re-enter your home. Go on the offense, so you don’t have to play defense later. Here are some tips to help keep mice away from your home, as well as other mice.
As mentioned above, mice typically enter your attic through holes or structural openings in the exterior of your home. A preventive measure you can take to bar animals from entering your attic is to find any openings or weak areas and fix them.
While walking the perimeter of your house, inspect the roof and the seams between the roofing and siding/brick for holes. Even small holes can be exploited by persistent mice.
A professional from Identify Pest Control will be able to inspect the parts of your house that you can’t see from the ground.
Rubber and plastic fillers (like caulk) are not effective, as mice can easily chew through them. In the long-term, the best way to exclude mice is to plug cracks and holes with wire mesh or quick-drying cement.
Also, keep flowers, shrubs and hedges trimmed at least 18 inches out from the foundation of your house. This can deter mice from sneaking their way in, and it will help you locate points of entry.
Finally, remove attractions that act like a magnet for mice. Clean up food scraps from outside your home and keep your trash bins firmly closed.
Mice can be cute but not when they trespass into your home.
